Frogshole Farm public house

Still boarded up from the fire in February (2007) but the enclosing fences now display planning applications (so things are looking up). The pub's name is not a contrivance of Olde Worlde corporate branding as this actually was the farmhouse for Frogshole Farm. The timber-framed building dates from the 16th century with numerous modifications over the centuries (and probably a few fires too!) Most of surrounding development is built on the fields of the old farm so Maidenbower could well have been named Frogshole instead.
